The Chancellor recently granted an in
junction enjoining Jacob M. Higgins, of
North Planfield, "to refrain from erect
ing dwelling to cost less than SIS, 000'
on his property. The application on
which the injunction was issued states
that there was a clause in former deed
for the property to the effect that no

be erected. Counsel for Mr. Higgins are
investigating the matter to discover in
what deed the covenant referred to first
originated.
The county nominations made by the
Monmouth Democracy on Monday were
dictated by the Blodgett wing of the par

Bergen, and one or two other counties
of the State, have refused to comply with
the conditions of what is known as the
new ballot-box law. The Legislature, at
its last session, provided for the purchase
by counties Of patent ballot box, such
as are used in Cincinnati Most of the
counties have purchased and distributed
due number of these boxes; bnt those
who have not obeyed the law, like the
authorities of Bergen county, maintain
that as the statute provides no penalty,

used 10 Cincinnati, 1t defeats its own OBJ
ject, inasmuch as Cincinnati does not use
the box referred to. What will happen If

tain that such elections will be invalda
ted. But it we're far better that no ocoa-
sion for raising the question had been
made.
